Rutland Sailing Club is seeking a General Manager, who will be responsible for proactively and enthusiastically managing the day-to-day operations of the club in a culture of achieving high standards, maintaining and developing the commercial aspects of the club and delivering a service which exceeds member expectations. The Manager will work with the Management Council to develop the facilities of the club and lead the team of staff and contractors. 

Rutland SC is one of the largest inland sailing clubs in the UK with over 1500 members and a full racing and training programme for the full range of boats from Optimists to 27ft Keelboats plus an extensive open meeting and external training programme. We are one of only five RYA National Sailing Academies and the only one inland. We are recognised as an RYA Training Centre, High Performance Club, Champion Club and OnBoard Club.

• Be able to lead, develop, and sustain effective working relationships with people at all levels both within and outside the club 
• Be commercially aware with sufficient attention to detail to manage finance processes and reporting and IT systems. 
• Be able to support delivery of the club's sailing and training programme with overall responsibility for the club's in-house sailing school and workshop department. 

This permanent, full-time position will be demanding and requires a reliable, hands-on and self-motivated leader.  He/she must be flexible, and availability for weekend working is essential throughout the year, on typically 30 or so weekends on a planned basis with other staff, and occasionally evenings if required. Personal sailing knowledge is useful but hands-on general management experience is essential.
